Answer:

Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength μ = 5500 psi and the standard deviation is σ = 100 psi.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\bar X<u><em> = sample mean comprehensive strength</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                          Z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean comprehensive strength = 5500 psi

            \sigma = standard deviation = 100 psi

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is given by = P(\bar X > 4985 psi)

    P(\bar X > 4985 psi) = P( \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{4985-5500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{9} } } ) = P(Z > -15.45) = P(Z < 15.45)

                                                                  = <u>0.99999</u>

<em>Since in the z table the highest critical value of x for which a probability area is given is x = 4.40 which is 0.99999, so we assume that our required probability will be equal to 0.99999.</em>

WHAT IS 3/8 DIVIDED BY 1/2
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.

Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.

So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.

Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.

1/3into a percent and a decimal
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

33% or .33

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 1/3 = .3333 (repeating). I would round to the nearest hundreths place:

1/3 = .33

For the precentage, multiple 0.33 by 100:

100 * 0.33 = 33%

How do I solve for X?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The value of x in the special right triangle is 39.60 ft.

<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>

Right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The side and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, let's find the base of the triangle with 30 degrees.

sin 30° = opposite / hypotenuse

1 / 2 = 7 / b

b = 14 ft

Let's use the value(14 ft) to find the height of the biggest triangle.

sin 30 = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 30 = 14 / h

0.5h = 14

h = 14 / 0.5

h = 28 ft

Therefore, let's find the value of x .

sin 45° = 28 / x

x = 28 / 0.70710678118

x = 39.5979797464

x = 39.60 ft
